This is a little different question for many here. I have a Rossi ranch hand (Mars Leg) in 45 colt. It is a cut down Rossi 92 lever rifle for those who
don't know. Any way I,m looking at rifle loads for 45 colt. This short rifle has a 12 inch barrel & there is almost no data I can find. So I,m thinking
of maybe reduced rifle loads. I cast up Lee 255 grain bullets & Hi Tec coated them. I have Unique, that I shot with 10 gr & Tight group at 7 gr with 220 Grain
lee cast bullet. I just got some 2400 & reloader 7. I want to mostly stick with 255 g bullet. Any help or ideas would be welcome.

The R-92 will handle Ruger only loads, I am not sure I would want to shoot them with the Mares leg grip. I would load warm pistol loads until you reach your accuracy or velocity goals.

I'm with MT Gianni, the 92 action should handle any of the Ruger only loads.
That the rel 7 is a rifle powder and I'm not sure how that might work.
The 10 grs. of unique should work fine, but whether it is accurate out of that particular firearm only time will tell.

"I want to mostly stick with 255 g bullet."

8.5 gr Unique under that 255 gr SWC is a "classic" 45 Colt load. Shot great in my Rossi rifle.
